The Los Angeles Kings were mathematically eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs last week. However, all-world netminder Jonathan Quick has not throwing in the towel. The Kings hosted the Coyotes at the Staples Center on Sunday night, and midway through the first period Quick made an absolutely incredible save on Peter Holland that might go […]

Kings win and they maintain their three-point lead over the Ducks at the top of the Pacific Division and climb to within two points of Dallas and St. Louis for first place in the Western Conference. Sharks win and they clinch a playoff spot and move five […]

It’s been a rough season for the Los Angeles Kings. The defending Stanley Cup champs have been mediocre bordering on bad, riding into last night’s game against the Flames with a 23-18-12 record, five points out of the last Western Conference playoff spot. Highly paid team leader Mike Richards has been demoted to the minor leagues. Meanwhile, Jonathan Quick has looked […]

Two years ago the Los Angeles Kings opened their season by raising a Stanley Cup championship banner to the Staples Center rafters, then got pounded by the Chicago Blackhawks, 5-2.

The Los Angeles Kings probably didn’t need much luck during their impressive 6-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 2 of their Western Conference Finals series, but they got some anyway. That bit of luck for the Kings came during the first period with the game still tied, 0-0. It was then that a […]

When is comes to producing points, Anaheim forward Corey Perry has been whisper quiet so far in the Ducks’ second round series against the Kings. The guy recorded 43 goals and 39 assists in the regular season, but in the first two games against L.A.—both home losses—he’s got zero and zero. However, Perry hasn’t been […]

When the Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Jonathan Bernier from the Kings, the netminder wasn’t walking into a situation in which he’d definitely be the number one guy. The Leafs already had a solid goalie in James Reimer who led them to the playoffs last year for the first time in over 75 years… …Okay, so […]

In the spring of 2012, impeccable goaltending from Jonathan Quick propelled the Los Angeles Kings to their first ever Stanley Cup Championship, and Quick rightly won the Con Smythe trophy as MVP of the playoffs for his outstanding performance. Last year? Well, the Kings did make it back to the Western Conference Finals, and at […]

Last night in St. Louis, the Blues dominated the defending Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings for the majority of the game. They won 44 of 69 faceoffs, outshot the Kings 36-19 in regulation, and had the majority of the scoring chances. So how on earth did this game end up going into overtime? The answer […]

As one would imagine, the Los Angeles Kings have had a pretty fun week, parading the Stanley Cup all around the “City of Angels” for the very first time. It’s first stop was the team’s favorite watering hole, a pub in Hermosa Beach, just a few hours after their victory Monday night. Then, on Tuesday […]

L.A. Kings coach Darryl Sutter and 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Quick aren’t the most loquacious guys in the NHL. Thus, when they sat down with a room full of reporters following the Kings’ Stanley Cup victory over the New Jersey Devils last night, the members of the media probably weren’t expecting to get […]

Heading into Game Three of the Stanley Cup Finals last night, two trophies were up for grabs; the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe. It may be fair to say that both of those trophies were all but wrapped up following the Kings’ 4-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils in front of a sellout […]

Goaltending was supposed to be the story for the Vancouver Canucks heading into Game Three of their opening round playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings, as they gave Roberto Luongo the night off in favor of backup Cory Schneider following two straight losses. And while Schneider was impressive, stopping 19 of the 20 shots […]

Here is an idea for an all new episode of The Discovery Channel’s “Ghosthunters.” Revisit Monday night’s game between the Calgary Flames and the Los Angeles Kings and figure out exactly how Jarome Iginla’s one-timer with 1:39 remaining in the first period failed to find the back of the net after beating Kings’ goaltender Jonathan […]

After getting off to a hot start this season and finding themselves on top of the Western Conference standings, the Los Angeles Kings have cooled off considerably, dropping out of the playoffs.
